"The gaming industry has a growing history of blockbuster hits built through abusive working conditions, and calls to improve are few in number, low in volume."
"Why would anyone ever want to be a AAA game developer?"
Many players find it easier to express themselves while playing games. Yet, over half of the surveyed gamers still play to relieve stress.
I wonder what place made this study, and it's Fandom, no wonder half of the people said that, I find it hilarious that Fandom of all places did manage to pull more than 50% for the argument of playing games for self expression
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
Interesting read. I'm sure this is the case with publishers like Activision and EA... But there are some developers and publishers that dont fall under this category.
AAA just means huge budget, it doesn't mean the game will be good.
why would anyone want a job? i mean it's a job the thing about the job you heat it. how much you tell yourself you have what you want to do still you will get frustrated about it. it's not like teach or being in military or movie maker better. in fact some Musician heat being in famous or in spotlight but what you got to do it's come with job.
To get paid, for job satisfactions, to get employed... etc. the list goes on and on.
It sucks, and on top of all the sh*t they put up with from the heads and publishers, there is still the legion of bitching fans ready to tear them apart when the game's released.
Devs can't win, and although I'm not against criticising bad work, I am sure to not be a d*ck about it.
